Counselling

I specialise in supporting individuals and families coping with loss and support them in navigating the often overwhelming emotions and challenges that come with various forms of grief and loss. This includes the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, job loss, stressful life changes, or the loss of a beloved pet. Using a person-centred approach, I’ll work alongside you to understand your specific needs and goals, offering support that respects and honours your experiences. I also incorporate Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), a goal-oriented, effective approach helping create meaningful change and guiding you toward a brighter, more hopeful future. If you're struggling to cope, I offer a safe and compassionate space to explore your grief, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and find meaning in your life again. You don't have to go through this alone and I offer a safe and compassionate space to:

  • Explore and process your grief

  • Develop healthy coping mechanisms

  • Honor the memory of your loved one

  • Find meaning and purpose in your life again

My services also extend to other areas including

  • Depression: Overcoming feelings of sadness and hopelessness.

  • Life transitions: Navigating major shifts and adjustments in life.

  • Relationship issues: Improving communication and connection.

  • LGBTQIA+ support: Providing affirming and inclusive support.

  • Anxiety and stress: Managing overwhelming feelings and worries.

I offer two distinct approaches to counselling, designed to support your individual needs and goals. The first integrates Person-Centred Therapy with Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, combining deep emotional exploration with practical strategies for creating positive change. The second focuses on spiritual counselling, helping you nurture emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being while deepening your connection to purpose and inner balance. Together, these approaches provide a holistic framework to facilitate healing, growth, and fulfillment on your journey.

Why an Integrated Approach?

By combining the best aspects of Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), therapists can create a powerful and effective approach that empowers clients to create positive change and live more fulfilling lives. This integrative approach offers a unique blend of support and empowerment, providing clients with the best of both worlds:

PCT provides a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This deep level of understanding fosters a strong therapeutic alliance, crucial for healing and growth.

  • Deeper Understanding & Connection: SFBT focuses on actionable steps and achievable goals.

  • Strengths-Based Focus: Both PCT and SFBT emphasise the client's strengths, resources, and potential for growth, fostering hope, resilience.

  • Increased Self-Efficacy: By focusing on solutions and possibilities, clients develop a greater sense of self-efficacy and confidence in their ability to create the life they desire.

The integration of PCT and SFBT allows for a truly personalised therapeutic experience, tailored to each client's unique needs, preferences, and goals, the benefits include:

  • Enhanced self-awareness and understanding
